Assignment Availability

Hi,

For an online assignment I checked "allow late submissions" (as welll as "allow resubmitting") in the settings, but once the due date was over my students couldn't add their homework.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  If I find agreement I will add this to the bugtracker.

Tim.

Re: Assignment Availability -- "allow late submissions" reversed?

I see that behavior too! 

It seems that the "allow late submissions" is reversed.  That is, if you choose "no", then one can submit assignments late.  Likewise, if you choose "yes" then students can not submit late assignments.

I think that this is related to using the Humboldt Upload & Review assignment type.  If you look in moodle/lang/en/assignment.php, you will see:

$string['preventlate'] = 'Allow late submissions';

In the main moodle distribution "Allow" has been changed to "Prevent", so I just made the following edit to that line:

$string['preventlate'] = 'Prevent late submissions';

Now the logic makes sense.
